Eaton Corvinus says: This is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime event! samharper says: Can't wait to see what new Wii U and 3DS games I'll be able to buy from the eShop on the 28th of March 2023And yet I'm still going to be whooping with delight at the prospect of spending another £40 on a game I already own if they announce Xenoblade Chronicles X. Gave up hope of Twilight Princess & Windwaker re-releases.I'd love for those ports to appear now, but also I imagine they'll be full-price and maybe Nintendo wants us to save our money for Tears of the Kingdom? I'd take a port of GX, to be honest. Such a different culture to the dude-i-ness of the exbox shows. Go on then, spill the beans - are we really going to see a new F-Zero tonight? What a time to be alive! Arms was beautiful, but alas I think it will be the only one of its kind. It definitely feels like the right way to play the game too. hazywaze says: I love the formal style of the execs. Tonight's the big one - or at least it really should be - in which the veil will be properly lifted from the next big Zelda and we finally learn more about Tears of the Kingdom. I'll be doing a proper goodbye in due course but I wanted to say a fond farewell to everyone here.

Today a college campus will have extra police officers and K9 units walking around after a joke email from a student to a professor.

Police then confirmed that the person who sent the original email, currently believed to be a student, replied to the professor via another email and admitted that it was all a “bad joke” referencing today’s Direct.

A college student sent what they thought was a cheeky email about the Nintendo Direct to their professor, and it prompted a police investigation. In an apology email, the student described their previous message as a “bad joke.” While the CSUF Police Department doesn’t believe there is an actual threat to the school or the people in it, there will be additional officers on campus today, with K9 units among them.

Regardless, the University will see increased security throughout the day out of "an abundance of caution". In this case, someone's excitement seemed to get the better of them.

CSUF school police investigated a threat email to a teacher to cancel class, but it was actually a joke about not missing a Nintendo Direct.

No Nintendo enthusiast would want to be stuck in a university class during a Nintendo Direct, but sending a weird joke email to cancel class that can be misinterpreted as a threat and investigated by the police isn’t necessarily the best solution. The person who sent the original email (presumed to be a CSUF student) even sent a follow-up email to the professor admitting it was just a “bad joke” about the Direct, but CSUF police are increasing security today anyway out of an abundance of caution.

California State University was urged to cancel classes today "for the good of humanity."

The campus police department added, "We understand that a threat of any kind, real or not, causes many to fear for their safety.
